Planned this as a weather stop over but was surprised we could get anywhere in Philly from here. Be advised they are stopping service at this location end of December 31 2018. Even though it is simply a parking lot and does have water and electric available and a central dump station. It was a great location to base your RV and visit Philly. - Art Goldsmith

It's hard to rate this one. It's a parking lot in South Philly. Their primary business is as a park and ride for people going to the University of Pennsylvania Hospital, but there are about a dozen spaces with hookups crammed closely together on one side of the lot, and overflow parking for a bunch more. Shuttles run between the lot and the hospital 24/7. It's about a 5 minute ride to the hospital, then there are public transit connections to everywhere else (about 15-20 minutes to the tourist locations in the center of the city). Or it's a $10, 15 minute Lyft ride directly from the park to the center of town. The employees were all super friendly and helpful. Between the razor wire perimeter, bright lights, and the presence of bus drivers and other campers, it seemed safe enough. The lot has all of the basics, restrooms and showers that I never looked at (someone else said they were actually pretty good), dump station, dumpster. There's a small patch of grass by the entrance if your dog needs it. There's also a fair bit of trash around, and it's next to a train yard. Between the trains, buses, and a jerk who appears to be living in the last campsite next to the tracks with some loud motorized bike that he likes to ride around the parking lot in the evenings, it's not quiet. But it's very convenient for visiting Philly, and very cheap when compared to other big city RV parks. If you can pick your site, the ones in the front, farthest from the railroad tracks, are quietest. If I were visiting Philly again, yes, I would stay here again. But a lush state park it ain't. - AnnP

This park is Urban Camping at it's best. It is super close to all of fun and historical things to do in Philadelphia. Campus Park & Ride is essentially a commuter parking lot next to a warehouse that has electric and water connections at each site. It is a no frills place to safely connect your RV, camp and enjoy one of the best cities on the East Coast. Their staff is SUPER friendly and helpful with directions and recommendations. - ETCTA

Traveling full-time in a 38-foot coach we stayed 16-nights in a site for big rigs (site # 43). Pd $54.29/night. The good....if you desire to stay close to Philadelphia this would be an excellent choice. This is a very quiet park and very well maintained. If you have a dog there is ample area to walk your pet plus a fenced dog park located at the front of the park. Our AT&T phones worked great here and we also had satellite reception. However, if your site is on the outside perimeter, you may not get satellite reception because of the beautiful tall trees surrounding the park. After 16-nights, the dust on our coach was minimal compared to many other parks. Big coaches need a gravel pad, so we give this RV Park a 5-star rating for the thick gravel pad. Each site had room at the side of the coach for sitting and relaxing while BBQing. There are two separate sections to this park, the back section located on the back side of the beautiful pond area. We stayed in the front section of the park at the end of a row, which turned-out to be one of the better sites. The bad...the park provides a free wifi hotspot for checking email and surfing the web, but it can only be accessed at the office area. If you want wifi at your site then wifi can be purchased thru a third party provider. We went the extra mile and paid $28 for the streaming package. The wifi sucked. We were never able to stream or open email attachments using their wifi. Sent the wifi provider 3-emails, but never received a response back. We felt totally ripped-off. Other then the bad wifi experience, we enjoyed our stay there and would probably stay again. We'd just be prepared to use our own hot spot instead of paying for a wifi package that never worked! - JDC10

Nice and quite CG. Typical KOA amenities. Only 20min to subway. Only complaint is that our site didn't drain. After a rain there was a 6 inch puddle outside where our steps were. Would stay again. - newbies2016

I did not find our site to be small like other reviews. Our pull through site was plenty long enough with plenty of room on both sides and it was easy to get level. Park roads were good and we were escorted to our site. Power was good as was the water. My only issue with this park was the price. $63 for a site with no wifi, unless I walked to the office, is a bit pricey for us. This is our 3 time at this park and it will be our last due to pricing. I'll find another park or another route in the future. - RayN

Limited facility with about 25 of the 50 campsites open to campers up to about 22' in length. We camped here in the winter on a unusually warm weekend. The campground, like all NJ State Park campgrounds, has no hookups. The shower facility was open and hot showers are available all winter. Several of the campsites are along the lake and allow canoe / kayak access right from your site. (# 10 and # 25 seem to be the best but others are available). In the summer there is a functioning beach area for swimming. The lake is quiet except for the occasional ATV riders in the area of which the park police continually chase away or otherwise enforce their restrictions. The location is ok for a day or two if you're running on your own power and water. In addition to decent kayaking / canoeing there are a few small trails for hiking on the opposite side of the campground. There is a two night minimum when reserving online but if you reserve in person during non peak weeks the park staff will accommodate you. - Jim and Ben

This was our first time staying at Hospitality Creek and were not very impressed! If I was charged $45-50 a night I would have no complaints; however when they charge $100 a night and have a 3 night minimum I expect a very nice campground. That is not the case at all. Unfortunately the campground is littered with numerous run down seasonal sites. Water park and pool were ok, nothing spectacular. Property has quite the laundry list of rules, however I saw no one enforcing them. Site was very un-level. If we were to come back it would only be to stay in one of the lakefront sites. - SJEAGLES609

Great place to spend time camping. The staff was outstanding; were there to help you. One of the problems I had was with the pools. The campground is also a pool club and the pools where always packed and very loud. They had things for the campers to do at night and the band they had for the 4th was great. The last thing for the money you pay I wished they had concrete pads very sandy. - 4 DVC Fans

First off, our last stay was August last year (and many times prior). We live very close to this campground; which at first I questioned why tow to somewhere so close. First time there I realized why. PLENTY of things to do. Excellent pools, one for the kids and one for the adults. Also, a great lakeside beach with plenty of stuff for the kids. Canoe, paddle boat and flat bottom boat rentals at the ready. Boat launch is there. Sites are pretty accessible. The staff is GREAT! And aside from having things for the kids, they do adult-only things too. If you're thinking about checking it out, do it - you won't regret it! - Wildwood Camper

Traveling in a 43ft Class A with 4 slides and tow vehicle. Interior roads are tight for big rigs. The first turn inside the park has you making a 90 degree turn with a tree on each side of the turn and boundary markers along the asphalt making it difficult to thread through. The turns to the office and the exit have concrete posts at the corners making it tough to make those turns. We stayed along the fence line and to get to that area you will encounter an overhead tree branch that you cannot avoid (no damage) and two other trees to thread through. The fence line sites are the best for big rigs. We booked site 47 through Reserve America after a lengthy conversation with the office about the best spot for our size and satellite signal; however, upon arrival we were told that somehow that spot was double booked and we would have to be in site 35 with no other options. They never contacted us prior to arrival to tell us our booked site was not available; however, they said an email "should have" been sent. Site 35 had soft ground toward the front and we had to adjust a couple times to keep our jacks from sinking into the ground. It has a very large tree that blocks satellite, the sewer is all the way at the back and the water is on the passenger side shared with another site so we had to run our hose under the coach. Some may need a sewer and water hose extension. We had multiple conversations with the office about moving to another site and they told us that we could not move for 3 days because they were booked. For those 3 days our original booked site stayed vacant. Eventually we ended up in site 50 which was a little shorter but decent and the sites are wide so we could park the car next to the coach. Heavy rains while we were there and many sites were flooded. The pool was closed for the season, the arcade only open 2 hours a day and the tennis courts were laughable as the surface was rough chip sealed so not usable. - Big Rig Travelers

This is a rural park with many campers that stay year round. It is mostly for families and has plenty to keep kids busy. The one thing it's missing is a fenced in dog park. It has plenty of room for one though. We had a pull through that was extremely difficult to get in and out. Pictures show poles and trees were a problem. Tight roads thru the park. Signs all over the park telling you "no" for something. Other campers were very friendly. Otherwise a good central location to see Atlantic City and Philadelphia. There was an outside row for big rigs but no shade at all. Might stay here again but only viewing lot first. - S Dowdy

This place is off the beaten path but a great place to stay. The roads in are good. GPS may not bring up the last road in - Foote Lane - but there is a sign for the campground at the end of the road. Check in was fast and friendly. We were originally in Site 28 but we could not level our RV - there is a slope at the front end of the site. We moved to Site 40 and it was easier to level - still not perfect but better. This is the reason for the 9 star rating, otherwise it would be a 10. Sites are wider than normal. Site 40 is a pull through with full hook ups, no issues with any of them. It was plenty long enough for our 37-foot Class A, tow-dolly and parking the car. The park is well maintained and very quiet. There is a cow pasture next to the camp but there was no smell. They have a play ground, fishing pond and a pool, but there are no chairs or table at the pool. Laundry is an open room so it was pretty dusty but the machines were clean. Some of the dryers don't heat up very well. WiFi was just okay. Verizon signal was good. We stayed June 7 -14, 2018 and paid $29 a night. - BarrettsHappyTrails

Terrible campground. Overpriced compared to other campgrounds in the area, especially since they have no sewer hookups. The two mile dirt road leading to the campground was full of potholes and was washboard-like because of the rain. Interior roads and sites are narrow with low hanging branches. Many low hanging electrical or cable wires. The wire to the security camera broke off our vent hatch when we arrived because it was hanging so low and we couldn't see it at night. There was broken glass all over our campsite. Internet and cell phone service was almost non-existent. When we left we had to have someone get on top of our trailer to lift branches and wires out of the way as we drove out. We would not stay here again. - poema304
